Live comments

  • 0' - Welcome to Ahmed bin Ali Stadium that hosts another battle between Japan and Costa Rica.
  • 5' - It’s high time Luis Suarez made some changes to put the his team’s game back to action.
  • 10' - Ayase Ueda has certainly something to prove this evening. He made 4 appearances with only 0 goals this season.
  • 15' - Supporters expect more eagerness from Keysher Fuller, as he is very good at scoring at Ahmed bin Ali Stadium with 1 goals in the last 1 games.
  • 20' - The referee is likely to let players tackle, as he already missed some meaty challenges during opening seconds. He is still to establish what should not be done by the players and what is acceptable on the pitch. It’s going to be a tough game for Ritsu Doan suffering a number of foals already.
  • 25' - While there is no rush on the pitch, let’s have a look at some stats. Daichi Kamada made 163 appearances and scored 68 goals. He is very likely to score a goal today.
  • 30' - We miss some good tackles and strikes. Is there anyone on the field to put the game back to action?
  • 35' - It looks like no one’s ball. Costa Rica is used to counterattacking playing. None of the sides are ready to take the lead.
  • 40' - Japan is showing some good football. However, Japan are ready to play back every minute. It might result in some problems for the home side. The game will hardly remain goalless.

  • 42' - Costa Rica receives a Yellow card for a hard tackle on 42.
  • 44' - The referee calls foul for Miki Yamane. He receives a Yellow card.
  • 46' - It is a substitution in Japan team. Ayase Ueda is replaced by Takuma Asano on 46 minute.
  • 51' - The travelling Costa Rica supporters hardly appreciate their team being pressed down to the backline.
  • 56' - The teams are not in a rush to score plenty of goals. It might look strange considering Costa Rica that had 7 games and scored 5 goals.
  • 61' - The referee shows Costa Rica player a Yellow card on 61.
  • 62' - It’s gonna be a Yellow card for Celso Borges.
  • 62' - The whistle greets Miki Yamane as he departs to be replaced by Kaoru Mitoma.
